About this file
This single source justification document identifies the need for a new BD/CareFusion Pyxis ES 6-drawer MedStation for an inpatient medicine unit opening at the Syracuse VA Medical Center in fall 2023. The estimated cost is $73,243. Market research found that CareFusion Solutions, LLC is the original equipment manufacturer, with Four Points Technology, LLC, Veterans Healthcare Supply Solutions Inc., and MicroTechnologies LLC as the only authorized distributors under federal contracts. While other companies expressed interest, CareFusion confirmed these three are the sole authorized distributors. A brand name justification is made given interface requirements with existing VA pharmacy and medical equipment systems, as well as the lack of any small business manufacturers per federal rules. The justification and single source award under $250,000 is certified by the contracting officer at the VA Network Contracting Office in Cheektowaga, New York in support of the medical center.
